Interesting Extracts From a Prize Article
on Wheat-Growing.
The best soil for wheat is magnetism
limestone. or a limestone clay; but If
can be proftably grown on nearly
every fertile, drained soil. On soils
lacking in silica the straw lodges:
lacking in lime, the berry is not plump.
Growing wheat on undrained land is
foolishness. If not drained naturally,
drain the land artifcia&4y. Earth does
not expand in freezing, water does; if
the surface soil is filled with water dur
ing the winter and spring, its freezing
and thawing will heave out the young
plants; if the soil is drained the heav-
ing will be much less. Drained soil
retains the most moisture in midsum-
mer also.
Pillow early, very early-as soon as
you can get the preceding crop off the
land. Get to work in July at least.
The ground will be harder in August,
and wheat, unlike corn, does best on
a seasoned seed bed. Follow close
with the harrow and roll at once. This
will crush the clods while they are soft
and retain the moisture in the ground;
otherwise the clods will harden and
the ground dry out. Wheat requires a
rather shallow, compact seed bed. A
compact seed bed is not hard, yet a
solid one 1t is made by bringing the
particles of fined ground close to-
gether Hence after the ground is
plowed, put on it all the work with
harrow, roller and drag that you pos
sibly can. No danger of too much
work being put on.
The best manure for wheat is clover
sod next, stable manure, spread soon
after blowing then the work of
filming the soil will mix it with the
upper stratum of the soil, the proper
situation for wheat.
By October / have seed bed solid, but
fine, except two inches of fine, loose
earth on surface. Late sowing avoids
damage by Hessian fly, and if soil is
properly conditioned, the plant will
get large enough. Use three to four
pecks of seed per acre-aot more.
Seed with two-horse drill, ridges run
ming at right angle to direction of
prevailing winter wind. With the

hold the snow on the plants in winter
and crumble down on the exposed roots
in the spring
If wheat is to follow corn, cut off the
corn do not pillow the ground, but
mellow its surface with disk harrow or
cultivator. Fine surface and drill the
grain.
Test at least one new variety each
year. Change your seed every three
years.
Cut early By so doing you avoid
storms and SCATTERING, the straw is
more valuable, the sheaves stand bet

better flour, while it viii weigh practi-

Difficulties and Restrictions in the Way of
Obtaining a Membership.
The sworn brokers of the city of Lon
don are only admitted to the stock ex-
change after the most careful inquiry
as to their antecedents; according to
the rules, candidates for election must
be recommended by three members of
not less than four years standing, each
one of whom must have personal
knowledge of the applicant and of his
circumstances, and who engage to pay
five hundred pounds each to his cred
itors in case he becomes a defaulter
within four years from the date of his
admission. The entrance fee is one
hundred and five pounds, and the
annual subscription twenty-five pounds
one shilling. If, however, the can
dldate has been a clerk in the stock
exchange for four years previous
TO his application, in which case his
two sureties only for three hundred
pounds. and his entrance fee is re-
duced to sixty-three pounds. the annual
subscription being the same.
The members are divided into brok-
ers and jobbers or dealers, the former
buying aud selling for the public. the
latter specializing on their own ac-
count The brokers have also to take
out license from the corporation of
London, under very heavy penalties;
but this does not give them right Of
admission to the exchange. Default
ing brokers are most severely dealt
with, being expelled from the stock ex.

Easily; cut down your doctors bills. When

THE TIRED WIFE.

All day the wife had been toiling.
From an carly hour In the morn,
And her hands and her feet were weary
With the burdens that she had borne;
But she said 20 herself: Tho trouble
That weighs on my mind is this
That Tom never thinks to give me
comforting hug or kiss
'Tm willing 70 DO my duty,
To use all my strength and skill
In making the home attractive,
In striving my place TO MI;
But though the approval OF conscioncol
Is sweet am free TO say,
That II Tom would give me hug and Q KISS,
'Twould take all the tired away"
Then she counted over and over
The years she had been Toms wife.
And thought OF the joys and sorrowS
She had known In her married life,
To be sure, there was money plenty,
And never u lack OF food,
But kiss now and then and word OF praiss
Would have done her world OF good.
All, many a one is longing
For words that are never said;
And many heart goes hungry
For something better than bread;
But Tom had an inspiration,
And when he went home that day
He petted his wife and kissed hor
In the old-time, loverlike way.
And sho-such enigmas are womenl-
Who had held herself up with pride,
At her husbands display OF fondness
Just hung on his neck and cried
And he, by her grief, reminded
or troubles he might have shared,

The culs de jatte attract more ntten-
ton from philanthropists and charita-
BILE people in Paris than the blind. the
paralytic or the manned. They drag
themselves along in little cars and
some of them make as much as ten
francs day by their energetic solicita-
tons of the passers-by. There are
even what are called fabrques or man.
ufactorics of crippled mendicants, just
as there are establishments for the
training of acrobats and tght-rope
dancers; and the miscrcants who prac-
tice the calling of providing manned
beggars for the Paris market and max
ing capital out of them arc more nu-
merous than would be supposed. These
people pay fifty or sixty francs for an
infirm child to its poor, avaricious or
unfeeling parents. They begin with it
at about ten years old, and tic its legs
underneath its body. The legs are then
bandaged with leather thongs, which,
after awhile, and when there Is not
much danger of gangrone. are squeezed
until the vitality of the neither limbs
flow into the body and the child is un-
able any longer to walk. When this
consummation has been arrived at the
cul de .jatte is ready for work in Paris
or some other large city.

fers at the hands of the inhunmn mon
sters who carry on this abominable
traffic is worse than any thing that
